      There’s actually a fair amount of discord between the Vatican and some of the nuns. There’s a strong social justice component in some subunits of the Catholic Church where they part ways with the Vatican (although I suspect less so with Francis than with Ratzinger, whose resemblance to Palpatine was not a mere coincidence).

      Owning shares is actually the method they’re using to have standing to sue. It’s a shareholder suit. For those curious about which orders, it’s a teaching order, a nursing order, a Dominican order (the odd man out), and a franciscian order.

          For sure, they’re not quite as conservative as the Benedictines. I shouldn’t push them off like that.

            Ok, but have you considered that the Trappist monks who make the really nice beer are Benedictines?

            If you haven’t tried reconsider your opinion after a 6 pack of that particular ambrosia.
